“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” (Nelson Mandela)
Our last day to be with friends we have made in the past two weeks. There were a lot thoughts, ideas, plans, wishes we wanted to express on this day. Our minds racing, our hearts beating faster, and waiting for the tears to come.
We seemed to walk at a slower pace to school this morning. Maybe it was our fear of goodbye. As we arrived at school hugs were shared, thoughts expressed, feeling flowed.
The children wanted one last glimpse of us, to be in a picture, just to hold our hands.
We hoped that we left a special gift in this community from each of us in a special way.
“Hope” – we can only hope we made an impact on their lives. We came with love, friendship, knowledge and peace – and that we have accomplished.
There are too many feelings to express the joy we have received during our farewell. I hate the word farewell. There cannot be a goodbye in this community. The need is great for us here.
This community has given me “hope” that there is peace and love.
Although it is hard to return home there will others to follow in our footsteps. I end our journal with love that is left, peace in my heart and tears in my eyes.
